Thirty condos pitched for Lawrence Avenue in Albany Park

A collection of five three-story condominium buildings featuring a combined 30 for-sale residences could replace the vacant former Socksco clothing store at 3030 W. Lawrence Avenue in Albany Park. 

Platinum Homes Development is currently seeking approval for the project, which is listed as "in community review" on the website of Ald. Rossana Rodriguez-Sanchez (33rd). Plans show each building containing six residential units: two 3,000-square-foot duplexes priced between $625,000 and $640,000 and four smaller 1,600-square-foot residences that will go for between $450,000 and $555,000.

The design of the proposal comes from local architecture firm 360 Design Studio and calls for a masonry facade, outdoor terraces, and improvements to the public way. Each of the six-unit buildings will include a detached garage at the rear with enclosed parking for six vehicles.

If approved, the team aims to begin construction on the condo complex at 3030 W. Lawrence in April 2022 and complete the project in August of that year, according to documents submitted to Ald. Rodriguez.
